The Original EPCOT
Registrace 28. 05. 2010
Today Walt Disney World in Florida is the most popular vacation destination in the world. Walt Disney World includes more than 20 resort hotels, 2 water parks, 1 night-time entertainment district and of course 4 theme parks: Magic Kingdom, opened in 1971, Epcot, opened in 1982, Hollywood Studios, opened in 1989 and Animal Kingdom, opened in 1998.
Even if the original project of Walt Disney did include a Disneyland-like theme park (the Magic Kingdom as it was eventually called), the reason to build Walt Disney World was Epcot. But not Epcot as we know it today (a theme park), but Walt's Epcot, a one of kind project composed of several elements: a prototype community, an industrial park, an airport of the future and much much more...

The connection with Walt Disney's original Epcot is that it's an interpretation of the central urban towering hotel and an additional building both planned for the so-called domed city.

“EPCOT will always be in a state of becoming. It will never cease to be a living blueprint of the future…..” and he never got to see it because he passed away about four weeks after filming this promo.
16:10 That original model for EPCOT is still on display to this day in the Peoplemover
Y nadie se da cuenta que es nuestro mundo el que esta describiendo!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉😊
This sounds like a fantastic idea. If only it was built :/

Was Walt a Progressive ?
I still remember when he was like dad.
I remember being creeped out by the Monsanto ride at Disneyland I was 5 or 6
The world has changed greatly since 1966.
But not for the better
Walt would be seriously disappointed to see where the company he sacrificed everything for is today. Immorality has weaved its dirty tentacles into its heart, and only God can set it free again. Praying. .
Well, if you can dream it you can do it. And well… it looks like it happened.
MICLUMADUATENIDEJAVU #WHAT YOU LOOKING AT SAY I CAN'T PRONOUNCE THAT MANY MILLION DOLLARS
An experimental community devoted to Disney greed and American stupid optimism. LOL.
This is dystopian, a city owned by a corporation.
Even tho you are technically right. Still i believe this city would be great and if run successfully then open a door for every city to change for better.
So much wrong with this.....where do the ''goods'' coming into this city come from? What about the people not living under the dome? Where are the workers, the factories,....Talk about you two tier society....
Walt, even thou he was sick, still demonsrrated his passion for Disney World and especially EPCOT, RIP Walt so sad to see you go.❤❤
15:14 a level of transparency that is rarely demonstrated in this era.
#DisneyDiva ❤
Can u please upload Disneyland gose to world fair please.
Interesting - the hard facts - I think uncle Walt knew what times were on their way to us
Had he actually written down more of what he intended to do with Epcot instead of keeping most of it in his head they actually could have created it.
The one place left ive wanted to stay since i was a little kid
... I had mo vr ThEn 30 years Household caTs Mr Disney was afraid of mouses. Ive read CaTs hunT and eaT mouses
Walt really created the magic. I wished he never had smoked all the time.
Tbh this idea is hella dystopian
6:17 24:25
Brilliant concept! However, he wanted the biggest tech companies to live and work together in the name of progress. It would never happen. Also, the underground tunnels wont work as the water table is high. They would have to build the tunnels like the Utilidors at MK.
Biggest nightmare ever
Bioshock could have been real essentially
I saw a video about Walt's dream of Epcot. Who knew he was such a "control freak" and only wanted "yes men".
Walt would never believe what they have done to his beautiful company.
"I am limited by the technology of my time." -Howard Stark // "technology that doesn't exist yet." -Walt Disney
Walt must be turning in his cryogenic pod over how these Anti-American , Perverse, Woke, Globalist, Marxist, Stooges, have destroyed his creations.
if only he could see what has happened to the the family unit, and Disney as it is now.
It's a shame the sodomites took over Disney.
At least Walt still looked really good, so great to have this video of him and his thoughts, we miss you Walt, RIP.
God Bless You Walt.
Of all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, “It might have been”.
If he had lived another 20 years this might have happened. There is no possibility of it now, with current infrastructure and the state of the world. Celebration was the closest comparable thing and it definitely had it problems.
Famous quote is at 10:20

This is a high trust society. It was a better time in America that was built by better men. We now live in a hyper-liberal low trust society. Good job woke America. We all hate and don't trust each other anymore.

The cities of Dubai and Masdar City in the United Arab Emirates along with the upcoming Cedar Island project in Lebanon use similar, if not the same, concepts that Walt created, along with the Venus Project. Additionally, other companies from across the globe are utilizing and developing many of the technologies and systems that Walt had envisioned.)
Rest In Peace Walt Disney
I MISS WALT'S ORIGINAL MOVIE'S AND CARTOONS. I WISH THEY COULD BRING THEM BACK...
